Possible FEMA CAMP? Confirm or Debunk

FEMA camp? I don't know. But that is what is great about ATS. We'll probably get to find out.

I'm convinced that it is at least some kind of military prison camp, if not a FEMA camp. It is located on Otis Air National Guard Base(camp edwards)
in Bourne, Massachusetts. Otis was scheduled to be closed in 2005, but has remained semi-operational.

These "snapshot" pics aren't high res. Please use Google Earth or any mapping program to take a much closer look.

This is the only information I have been able to find about this facility.

Camp Edwards Heliport (FAA LID: MA29) is a U.S. Army heliport at Camp Edwards in Bourne, Massachusetts, United States.

Doesn't look like a heliport to me. There aren't even any helipads. As you will see, the fencing is significant and there are 8 guard towers. The
entrance is very interesting and well guarded. There are uniform barracks. It borders a prison less than a mile to the west. Google Earth and google
maps both say the location is "US Marine Corps." However, the Marines are located at Fort Devens on the other side of the state. Lets get to the
bottom of this and find out what this facility actually is.

though i could be mistaken it appears that there are two entrance and exits to whatever this maybe. The one you highlighted is very well secured
where as the other does not appear to have any security at all. Fema prison camp, possible but im going to have to go with something more mundane at
this point. though i have to admit im not sure what.

but nice find none the less. I am looking forward to some of the responses by the people smarter than myself to see what they think.

thank you and good day/night depending on your location in this universe

You say you are 'convinced' but then go on to speculate about the possible things it might be? That doesnt sound very convincing.

What about this location grabbed you? Were you randomly looking around google earth? Did someone point it out to you?

I'm a local and was looking at the base on Google Earth. When I noticed this facility I attempted to search what it is to no avail. There are local
rumors of a prison camp on Otis, but I never believed it.

Today, the Camp is home to two training centers for National Guard troops. These training centers, which are the only ones in the Northeast other
than those at Fort Drum and Fort Dix, are meant to simulate a middle-eastern town.

Designed to meet the training requirements of a company-sized unit in an urban environment, the site includes 48 buildings constructed from connex
containers up to two stories high, with a mixture of rubble and complete structures. The layout includes a residential area, school, marketplace, and
worship area. Soldiers learn how to clear rooms and buildings in built-up areas, conduct house-to-house searches by foot in hostile urban areas and
distinguish between the characteristics of an innocent civilian and an embedded insurgent aiming to do harm. The MOUT also includes a building used
for training classes and after-action review sessions. The site is named in honor of Maj. Jeffrey R. Calero of Queens Village, N.Y. Calero, a member
of Operational Detachment Alpha 2132, C Company, 1st Battalion, 20th Special Forces Group (Airborne), was killed in action in Afghanistan on October
29, 2007.[2][13] Other recently planned, modified or additional elements of Camp Edwards' training facilities include the following:

Camp Edwards is located there. It is a military training facility/barracks. Local law enforcement hold drills three as well. There is housing, chow
halls and firing ranges.
Security: 1) its a military establishment 2) theres a county jail a few acres nw

Can you post an image of this 'barb wire' you mention? Hard to see it from Googlemaps.

You are correct, it is difficult to see barbed
wire from googlemaps. We should be able to see the rubble that they mentioned though.
I guess it does look like a middle-eastern town from above, right down to the guard tower and the barracks.

So when you say there is barbed wire surrounding the camp, you were just guessing?

Also, pro-tip, the camp is bigger than the spot the OP has zoomed in on.

But, no, you're right, it's OBVIOUS that it is a vampire re-education center. I'm CONVINCED of it

I'm convinced that you didn't answer a
few simple questions that I put forward.
How about this, I'll say there is no barbed wire there, you drop the belittling "vampire re-education center" BS.
If you would take notice, I haven't said that this place was anything in particular. Yet you are playing games as if I did.
I simply asked something about what we see vs the 'official story' that you put forward.

Welcome to ATS. This is a discussion forum. No need to be an A-hole by putting words in people's mouths and demeaning them, though your type of
interactive behavior is more common now than it used to be.

I think if it is one of the training locations, it is more likely Tactical Training Base (TTB) Kelley that I was unaware of until you posted that
link.

An example of Theater Immersion Training, the TTB is designed to rapidly build combat-ready units by simulating military environments encountered
during missions in Iraq, Afghanistan, or the Balkans. Soldiers live in tents with modular units provided for shower and sink facilities, and the base
is surrounded by barriers filled with dirt and barbed wire, entry control points and guard towers.

Hi, thanks for calling me an A hole for asking for evidence of the supposed barbed wire fencing. Not sure what you mean about 'putting words in
people's mouths'. You can read the post above mine who mentions the alleged barb wire.

Glad you can keep such a civil discussion. The thread title even says "Confirm or Debunk?"
